Education

2013

Master of Information Systems
Master of Information Technology

University of PHOENIX

Along with the knowledge and skills related to the University Learning Goals, students who graduate from the College of Information Systems and Technology should gain program-specific knowledge, skills and abilities. Each college or school creates a set of Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs) to describe the knowledge, skills or attitudes students will possess upon completion of the program of study. By the time you complete your Master of Information Systems, you should be able to perform these learning outcomes. The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accreditation is your assurance the University meets quality standards.

NAVAL ROTC
Computer and Information Systems Security/Information Assurance

University of oklahoma

The purpose of the NROTC Program is to educate and train qualified young men and women for service as commissioned officers in the Marine Corps and in the Navy as unrestricted line officers. As a significant source of Navy and Marine Corps officers, the NROTC Scholarship Program plays an important role in preparing mature young men and women for leadership and management positions in an increasingly technical Navy and Marine Corps. There are many paths to become a member of The University of Oklahoma NROTC Battalion. While the majority of our students are scholarship Midshipmen we also have Enlisted Sailors and Marines enrolled in Enlisted Commissioning Programs. Additionally many of our students are Non-Scholarship Midshipmen, also known as College Program Midshipmen. With the exception of minor uniform differences it is next to impossible to tell Midshipmen apart from one another as they all participate in the same activities regardless of status. Students selected to participate in The University of Oklahomas NROTC Program make their own arrangements for college enrollment and room and board. They take the normal course load required by the college or university for degree completion as well as courses required for participation in NROTC. Additionally, all midshipmen are required to follow specific academic guidelines. Students have many career options to choose from prior to commissioning into the Navy or the Marine Corps.
